Jim,

You either need to make the form modal or make sure your reference to the form object doesn't go out of scope and take the form with it. You might also look at the READ EVENTS command that puts your program into an event processing loop.

>After I sent this message I did some checking if I just created a brand new form nothing on it then I was able to get it to work. You are right that it has to do with the DataEnvironment. Once I removed it then it worked. Now the only prolbem is to get the screen to stay up long enough for the people to key some info into it.
